SEATTLE, Wash. -- Seattle Mariners Director of Amateur Scouting Tom McNamara announced today that the club has agreed to terms with outfielder Jabari Blash, the club's eighth-round selection in the 2010 First-Year Player Draft.

McNamara also announced today the club has recently signed two additional players from the 2010 First-Year Player Draft, including right-handed pitcher Stephen Landazuri (22nd), and right-handed pitcher Stephen Kohlscheen (45th).

Blash, 20, will report to Peoria, Arizona, to begin his professional career with the Peoria Mariners of the Arizona League. The 6-foot-5, 218-pound right-handed hitting outfielder, hit .341 (28x82) with 31 runs scored, 5 doubles, 2 triples, 1 home run and 12 RBI in 29 games in 2010. He was named to the 2009 First Team All Southern Conference after his freshman season. Blash attended Charlotte Amalie High School in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.

Landazuri, 18, was the Mariners 22nd round-selection out of Wilmer Carter High School in Rialto, California. He will report to Peoria, Arizona to begin his professional career with the AZL Mariners. The 6-foot-1, 180-pound right-handed pitcher was 3-7 with 1 save and a 3.05 ERA (27 ER, 65.0 IP) in 10 appearances this year. He limited opponents to a .241 average, while walking 20 and striking out 85. He also hit .403 (27x67) with 15 runs scored, 9 doubles, 1 triple, 3 home runs and 18 RBI in 23 games.
